Minor

The Film Studies minor enables students to develop a basic awareness of film as a contemporary medium of communication.

The minor consists of six courses: the Introduction to Film Art, one course in history or criticism, one course in production, and three electives in Film Studies which enable a student to design a personalized area of concentration.

Students interested in the Film Studies minor may contact Professor John Michalczyk, Assistant Chair for Film Studies.
